Talk about a grift
Seriously...talk about a frikkin grift. Shoppers has changed their Optimum points program...at JUST the wrong time for me.
They had a big 20x the points thing just before new years...I stocked up, and *FINALLY* got enough points (34,000) to get the 100% off up to $75. Sweeeeet.
Well, I was in shoppers today, and the lady in front of me tried to cash in her points, and made a big stink when the girl told her she didn't have enough. I thought it was sorta weird, so when I got to the front I asked the cashier what the deal was. She said that as of Jan 1st, they'd changed their point scheme...
Well now, to get the 100% off up to $75 you need 40,000...SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS more worth of shoppers purchases. Grift.

what! that's garbage! i also was shooting for the 34000 mark.
my sister was telling me someone she knew was in a math class that did a study and the optimal time to cash in your points was like the 50$ one or something.
